The Sears ventilation fan over our gas range, which vents to the outside, is aging out, and I want to replace it. Not sure if I want to continue venting to the outside.

Any credible suggestions regarding a replacement?

Why would you want to want it to go in to the roof cavity? Outside venting is great.
Is yours an inline fan like this or is it part of the range hood?

Part of the range hood, and the exhaust vents out the side of the house, not the roof.

Free standing range hood or under cabinet?

You've got a peculiar setup. Upgrading won't be easy or cheap. I'd continue venting outside though.

If you’re sticking with gas then venting outside seems like the prudent thing to do. Because combustion.

Do you want to replace the whole thing or just the aging part? There does seem to be parts available.

I'll second (third? Fourth?) venting to the outside. Gas ranges, in particular, are linked to indoor air pollutants, even when off. Venting to the outside is beneficial for your health.

I’d make a euthanasia joke here but perhaps that’s too grim

Cheap not sure but not necessarily difficult. We have a unit where we just built a around it and the fan is on the outside of the house so not much noise. Only part that is difficult with that solution is running the connection to the outside.

What fan did you get?

We have this

SILVERLINE Emhætter - SM1176 53/75CM HV TORINO

Emhætte Indsats / SM1176 53/75CM HV TORINO - Silverflex

And then the motor and fan sits on the outside of the house. So the above just have lights, some metal filter and a controls plus a remote that control the fan.
